BASE BALL.
The Detroit Nine in the Lead for
Cha ampiOnship HOnOrs.

CHICAGO, August 16.-Detroit goes
East tonight one game in the lead in
the championship race. Clarkson
pitched again to-day, and with the
exception of the fourth inning, when
fatal streak OF batting struck by the
Wolverines, was as formidable as
ever. He was not well supported on
the whole or the game would have
resulted differently. The Detroit runs
were well made in that one inning.
Chicago scored one in the first and
two in the eighth, which was all she
could get, although two or three val
liable opportunities were thrown away.
Probably ten thousand people wit
messed the game. Score: Chicago 3,
Detroit 5.
PHILADELPHIA VS.. WASHINGTON.
PHILADELPHIA, August 16-The Phil
adelphias won their third straight
game from the Washingtons to-day.
The afternoon was warm and the con-
test extended through ten innings.
Ferguson reappeared with the home
team, but was unable to do himself
justice by reason of his recent injuries.
The Philadelphias excelled both at
the bat and in the field, but their hits
were more wildly distributed than were
those of the visitors. Score-Philadel-
phia 7, Washington 6.
BOSTON VS.. NEW YORK.
Boston, August 16.-Welch pitched
strongly to-day, and received brilliant
support. Radbourne was in poor
form, and the Athenians fielded in
ragged fashion. The Gothamites
knocked out four earned runs in the
fourth and seventh innings, practically
deciding the game. The umpiring
was again disgraceful. Score: Bos-
ton, 81 New York, 8.

SAN Francisco, August 16.-Henry
Harris, manager of the Haverly Base

on August 14th." Sweeney claimed
that his error was accidental, but the

THE SEIZED sEALERS.

CAPTURE Received.

WASHINGTON, August l6.-The Sec
retary of the treasury has received an
official report from Captain Sheppard,
commanding the revenue cutter Rush,
dated Ounalaska, with regard to the
seizure of the sealers. The report
states that between July 8 and II he

RAILROAD LANDS.
Another Important Decision by
Secretary Lamar.

WASHINGTON, August l6.-The See
retary of the Interior is preparing a
decision relating to the identity of the
Withdrawals of the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company. He reviews at
some length the company's eonstruc-
ton of the law. He will not concur
in their views, and will hold that Con-
gress recognized the political divisions
of States and Territories, when it gave
the company ten alternate odd num-
bered sections of land on each side of
the line of road when it passes through
a State and twenty-mile section
when it passes through Territory.
LIEN LANDS DEFINED.
Lien land is but a substitute for
granted land, and the same boundary
lines applies to one as to the other.
The same distinction is preserved in
providing for an indemnity belt, less
being allowed in States than in Terri
tories. The Secretary will say that in
his opinion, and according to the
views herein expressed, the indemnity
claims of the company must be Greatly
reduced, and it will not require all
the vacant odd numbered sections
within the indemnity limits, but that
these would be lands to restore to the
public domain.
ONLY ONE INDEMNITY BELT.
The Secretary will also hold that
this company is entitled to but one
indemnity belt of ten miles in width,
and that the grant of July 80, 1870, re-
ported and modified that of the first
so far rs they conflict, and that both
acts relate to the same indemnity belt.
These are the only points not covered
by the decision of yesterday in the
Atlantic and Pacific case.

INDIAN INSURGENTS.
Kendall's Command in a
Dangerous Position.
AN APPEAL FOR ASSISTANCE.
Cavalry Ordered to the Scene of
MISUNDERSTANDING Reports
From San Carlos.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD,
DENVER, Col, August 16.-A Glen
wood special to the Times says; Van
Clief, the courier whom General West
sent out to find Sheriff Kendall, ar
rived this morning, having ridden
from Kendall's camp, near Thorn
burg, the battle-ground in less than
thirteen hours, distance of 105
miles. Forty of Kendalls men
weakened ard deserted him, leaving
only fifteen men. He is greatly re-
duced and worn out and is working
toward Meeker for reinforcements.
MISSING MESSENGER.
Van Clief says that Harry Golf
started out five hours ahead of him for
Meeker with a message. He has not
arrived, and it is feared he has fallen
in with the Utes.
THE UTEs ADVANCING.
The messenger says that the Utes
are coming up from the reservation.
APPLICATION FOR ASSISTANCE.
A messenger has also been dis
patched to Fort Duchesne for cavalry.
Two messengers who arrived from
Meeker yesterday will return this
morning with message to Kendall
that reinforcements would be forth
coming. None of Kendall's men were
killed, but one had a horse shot from
under him. The greatest excitement
prevails.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
A special to the Republican from
Rawlins, Wyo., says: A messenger
from White River has just arrived and
reports that about $50 Utes are fighting
at Beaver creek, fifteen miles from
Meeker. Families are rushing into
Meeker, and more Indians are COM
ing. The country is all on fire below
Meeker's between White and Bear
rivers,
PREPARING TO MARCH.
One hundred mounted inen are
ready and will march on the Utes un-
der command of G. f. Blydenberg.
The ladies' are busy making bandages
and the town is thoroughly excited.
THE GOVERNOR PETITIoNED.
Governor Adams this afternoon re-
ceived telegram from Adjutant-Gen-
eral West, at Glenwood Springs, con
tanning an appeal from Sheriff Kendall
for assistance.
HIS REPLY.
In response to this, the governor or
dered the cavalry companies at Dem
yer, Colorado Springs, Canon City,
Leadville and Aspen to start for the
front at once. They leave for the seat
of war tonight at 8 o'clock.
CROOK INFORMED.
The governor also telegraphed to
General Crook at Omaha that the sit
uation is becoming serious and urged
the War Department to protect the
settlers. The fact that Kendall has
had several skirmisles with the In
dams since last Thursday, and has
been deserted by part of his men, and
is now left in a dangerous position,
without food and ammunition, shows
that serious results may occur, unless
prompt action is taken by the State
militia,

ASSURING STATEMENTS.
AT SAN CARLOS.
Trouble Expected ON the Apache
ReservatiOn.

Tucson, A. t., August 16.-News
from the San Carlos reservation is of a
threatening character. The Indians
who committed the last depredations
are still in jail in San Carlos and
others on the reservation in sympathy,
are evidently contemplating their res
cue, which will bring about another
outbreak and one of serious nature.
STRICT WATCH KEPT.
Guards are placed every night over
the combustible property for fear that
it will be burned. Grass and water
being plentiful now, it would be a
serious thing if the Indians should
leave the reservation.

About ten miles east of Saddle
Mountain vaquero counted $50 head
of cattle killed by the Indians. Nearly
all the settlers have suffered losses
to a greater extent than they are
willing to acknowledge. As these In
dams are off the reservation, and have
heretofore depended upon their own
industries for support, their misdeeds
bring them clearly under the sole
jurisdiction of the civil law.

and nuts and did little hunting, but
none of the settlers in the neighbor-
